DEMIDUJBTABLTEZ MLETAL TIRE IEEEIEQ fiIl'C IQlFiUBEL Apjglieation filed January 23 fieiiel iii.

To all whom eoncem: Be it known that l, FRANK Pinyin), e oil' eo oi the United States of i imei'ice rei l, g mt Garclenville, in the county of libiie and State of New York, have invent- (vermin new end use ful lmproveiiients in UL noui Metal Tires fol Automobiles, of which the following is e speeiiicotiozi.

The primary object of lhe present invention is the provision of e sohsbieute for pneumatic izii'es in the Way of e demonot able metal tire eclepteci for removable p sitioning upon the folly ziiicl rim of an automobile Wheel whereby \ilouble expansion is alibi-(led and the resiliency of the tire 'is ca gamble of zicljuslmenh A fol-filler object of the invention is to provide a resilient tire that is cheap in con EatlUCilOD serviceable and puncture-proof having; shook-absorbing properties, possess" iiigg great strength and capable of long use Without the necessity of repairs or replaeemerit.

li itli these general objects in View, the in veocion consists of lhe novel combination owl arrangement of parts hereinafter more hilly described in connection with the liecomp ying (li'zaivings, and in which like reference characters designate corresponding ports aihi'oughout the several views.
